WFTL'S PAT HURLEY GAY ATTACKS BACKFIRE
While filling in for Steve Kane yesterday, Pat Hurley, guest host and
supporter of the evangelical fundamentalist extreme right, continually
attacked Wilton Manors Commissioner John Fiore, a member of the Dolphin
Democratic Club, for his alleged homosexual agenda.
While Broward Log Cabin Club has not agreed with some of the alleged
tactics utilized by some "yella-dog" opponents of Mrs. Diane Cline, a
gay-friendly Republican who has signed a Non-discrimination statement, it
also strongly opposes the same type of campaign used by the Sunday
moralist Hurley. The Paxton guest host not only stated that Ft.
Lauderdale Commissioner Jack Latona was a Republican (WRONG) but he
appears intentionally illusive, as are most born-again radical
fundamentalist, about the essence of the Golden Rule and the meaningful
Beatitudes.
Unfortunately Hurley leads gay women and men away form the Republican
party and their respective churches by his facade of evangelical Sunday
rhetoric. Fortunately for Democrat Fiore, the WFTL Paxton bashing paid off.
Andy Eddy, board member of Log Cabin Republicans, stated that, "the
Republican Party must distance itself from this type of skewed and
immoral deceptive bashing and into the sunlight of compassion, truth and
understanding if it wants to correct the real wrongs of this nation."
